Crazyguy:

A few months ago I went to an elder I knew well and told him: 'I have doubts.."

I explained things from an agnostic perspective that evolution explains our origins will certainty and I could find no proof for the bible's claims.

He of course was disturbed but said when a more knowledgeable elder could be find they would help restore my faith.... so far none have... The only thing he has suggested is to watch JW broadcasting of 'Origins of Life'... I have.... I find those 'scientists' disturbing ....

In the 80/90-/00s I thought JW had the truth based on science from the blue book,,,

BUT WE KNOW IT WAS FABRICATED AND QUOTE MINED... ONCE I FOUND OUT WHATEVER HORRIFIC CONCLUSIONS I FOUND OUT IT WAS FACTUAL NOT FABRICATED!

Many JWS like to leave the GB to follow Jesus.. OMG How about this YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!

& dudes or one dude that never existed... HMMM... <<< Stop this NOW and stop JW elders assuming that you have joined a false religion...

My elders know I'm agnostic (atheist but they dont know) they ignore me... But no YOU>>> follow WEEZUS .. I will never respect you

This is not a hate post but an awakening post

How do we know JWs are wrong and how do we convince others JWs are wrong: logic versus persuasion

by slimboyfat in

we like to think we are logical and have good reasons for for our beliefs.

no more so than when it comes to our reasons for rejecting the truth claims of jws.

we reject their version of history, such as the date of the fall of jerusalem, because it doesn't agree with the historical evidence.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE.. COFY GAVE YOU THE ANSWER IN THE FIRST PAGE ....

THERE IS NO GOD EVOLUTION IS TRUE AND YOU ARE AMAZING... BUT

THE WT WILL NEVER TELL YOU THAT.. WAKE UP FOOLS..

THE ONLY WAY TO CONVINCE JWS THAT THEY ARE WRONG IS THROUGH SCIENCE USING THE OPPOSITE OF THE BLUE BOOK... EX ERVS... EX CHROMOSOME 2.... EX.... TESTICLES... ECT

Yes I meant to use caps...

The problem of sex (or why I'm not an atheist)

by EdenOne in

as i write this under the shadow of the walls of saint jorge's castle in lisbon, two very bored jws are standing just five metres away from me with a literature cart .... in my journey away from jwism i accepted evolution as a fact.

i also became anti-religion, agnostic and apatheist.

and, while i lean towards the persuasion of the atheist arguments, there are a few reasons that make it difficult for me to completely discard the notion of an intelligent origin of life.

Eden... let me help you.... Nothing is more horrific to me then an ex JW that chooses Christianity... in my sight they have traded 7 existing men for one guy that might not have lived ,,, I mean that is sick

You have followed evidence much as I have but have not the same way.. when I saw evolution was true I also took an agnostic approach... I felt it reasonable.... However over time I learned it wasn't ...

Thus 2 years ago I became an atheist.... However that being said does not mean i;'m not spiritual... i need to understand the universe same as you... science will provide and answer even if not in our lifetime...

No asexual reproduction stems from eucriotic cells and is so far in the past it is not worth arguing about

I'm 38 and I think this video is bang on and quite humorous.. the kid gets his revenge.

This song is Celtic Rock (Im more country guy but like celtic rock) but the message is clear that JW kids are being abused NOT BY COURTS IN CHILD ABUSE... AS MUCH AS PREACHING...

100-million man hours

by Coded Logic in

the james webb telescope is set to launch in october of 2018 and will allow us to study the formation of first generation stars, the molecular clouds that became the first galaxies, and directly image exoplanets.

roughly one hundred times more powerful than the hubble space telescope the jwst is going to push back the current boundaries of science.. this is what 100-million man hours can accomplish.. .

One Thing I Don't Get About Brexit

by JW_Rogue in

how did such a weighty decision get put directly in the hands on the average citizen?

and with only a simple majority required?

in the usa the biggest thing that people vote on directly is city building projects or infrastructure.

The Divine Son of God, God Incarnate, Lord, Redeemer, and Saviour of the World

by Doug Mason in

before jesus was born or even if he had never existed—another human being was already proclaimed son of god and, indeed, god incarnate within the same first common-era century and within the same mediterranean world.

in fact, almost all the sacred terms and solemn titles that we might think of as christian creations or even pauline inventions were already associated with caesar augustus, the first undisputed ruler of the roman empire, from 31 bce to 14 ce.. augustus was divine, son of god, god, and god from god.

he was lord, liberator, redeemer, and savior of the world—not just of italy or the mediterranean, mind you, but of the entire inhabited earth.

Actually Im about to post a video on the Gospel of Peter and why in the 70s ce some educated men felt Titus might have been the messiah...

I do not believe in a historical Jesus other then possibly the street preacher in War of the Jews... but even him I doubt...

Lurking JWs: Do people really need to know and use the word "Jehovah" or other language equivalents, to truly know God?

by Island Man in

watchtower puts forth the argument that you can't really know god unless you know and use the appellation "jehovah" or its equivalent in other languages.

is this really true?

i say it's not true and i will demonstrate to you why.. god's name is not a mere label that we have to use to communicate with him so that he knows we're talking to him.

Vanderhoven7 Yes... but other translations like the Hebrriac Roots Bible add Yahweh more to the NT... JW are modest in a way here
